A Hard Day’s Night
A Hard Day’s Night
The Fab Four from Liverpool–John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr–in their first movie. Nobody expected A Hard Day’s Night to be much more than a quick exploitation of a passing musical fad, but when the film opened it immediately seduced the world–even the stuffiest critics fell over themselves in praise (highbrow Dwight Macdonald called it “not only a gay, spontaneous, inventive comedy but it is also as good cinema as I have seen for a long time”). Wisely, screenwriter Alun Owen based his script on the Beatles’ actual celebrity at the time, catching them in the delirious early rush of Beatlemania: eluding rampaging fans, killing time on trains and in hotels, appearing on a TV broadcast. American director Richard Lester, influenced by the freestyle French New Wave and British Goon Show humor, whips up a delightfully upbeat circus of perpetual motion. From the opening scene of the mop tops rushing through a train station mobbed by fans, the movie rarely stops for air. Some of the songs are straightforwardly presented, but others (”Can’t Buy Me Love,” set to the foursome gamboling around an empty field) soar with ingenuity. Above all, the Beatles express their irresistible personalities: droll, deadpan, infectiously cheeky. Better examples of pure cinematic joy are few and far between. –Robert Horton
Customer Review: Don’t Buy It !!!
I can’t agree more with the past two reviewers. As a ‘Beatle Nut’, I’ve always looked (& listened) with intent to find something new with each new release on The Beatles, whether it’s audio or video. This GARBAGE that MIRAMAX put out should be taken off the shelves. They’ve totally ripped their customers off (including me)! With today’s technology, it seems they could have sped the audio tracks up to match the ’standard pitch’ of the audio cds. Why the audio tracks ‘dragged’ from the onset of this movie’s release in ‘64 is beyond me. Don’t give me the excuse that it was to match the video - people are smarter than that! It’s just as easy (and more appealing) to speed video images up to the audio track than vice-versa. And to rip us all off by not offering at least a nice digital, stereo track - let alone 5.1 surround / 5.1 DTS??? The mono (digitally enhanced??) track they do offer is worse than Capitol Record’s version of ‘Duophonic Stereo’ on some of The Beatles’ early cuts. Shame on MIRAMAX. Let’s all start calling them MIRALAX…at least MIRALAX (an effective laxative) ‘gets you moving’ LOL! Seriously, people - rent it if you must see for yourself, but don’t buy this piece of s*%#! You’d be better off holding the money out the window @ 70 mph on the freeway - at least somebody worthwhile might profit from you. These morons should be forced out of business!
Customer Review: Never gets old
Before there was Truth or Dare-Madonna, there was a Hard Day’s Night. Based on the observations of the Beatles real lives with a bit of plot thrown in, this fun little movie has some great lines and wonderful songs.

Customer Review: Old Boat
I own a 15 foot rowing canoe which ways 75 pounds. This carrier sure makes getting down to the water a whole lot easier on my middle aged body.

Golf Cart Cup Holder Mount for Skygolf Skycaddie SG5 SG4 SG3 SG2 SG1 iGolf & Golflogix GPS 
You just purchased a Sky Caddie. Where do you put it? The golf cart’s cup holder of course! You will love this mount! The popular Cup Holder Mount is about 5″ tall. It features an adjustable flywheel base that expands to fit varying cup holder opening except for those that are so large that the 7-Eleven Big Gulp falls over. Your GPS will attach to the mount using the same round button that us used to attach to your belt clip.
Customer Review: Not quite as advertised, but pretty good.
I bought this to use with my Skycaddie SG2 in my golf cart. The product description says that it uses the belt clip button on the back of the unit to attach to the cup holder mount. It does not. In fact, the button keeps you from laying the Skycaddie flat against the unit. It looks like it will still work however, as you set the Skycaddie on the small legs on the bottom of the holder, then squeeze the two foam covered side pads tightly against the Skycaddie. The adjustable mount base works well in golf cart cup holders, and the unit can be tilted and locked into your desired angle, which is nice. Shame about the misleading statement about using the belt clip button to lock it in place. Update: used it on the golf course yesterday, and it really works well. The side pads hold it securely, the tilt feature displays it to cart driver and passenger, and the mount can be adjusted to fit tightly in your cup holder. Maybe deserves four stars?

Customer Review: Best little shopping cart around!
This toy shopping cart is terrific! My grandchildren love it. They enjoy playing shopping with their pretend food and carting around anything else that will fit in the cart. It was easy to put together and is very sturdy. I’ve purchased two so far and I am probably going to purchase another one for an upcoming birthday.
Customer Review: STURDIEST SHOPPING CART!
This shopping cart is definitely worth the money. I had purchased a cheap one, and it was just that! It was wobbly and light, so my daughter would fall when she was pushing it. The Little Tikes shopping cart is sturdy and will certainly be around for many years.
